List the Manliest of All Manly Men

[StoneGold]

I think the title is pretty much self explanatory. Don't worry about the order, this is just trying to figure out who is on the Pantheon of Manliness.

[hulahulk]

Elvis
Al Bundy
Johnny Cash
Ted Williams

[StoneGold]

No fictional characters. So you can list Ed O'Neil if you want, but not Al.

[UncleBob]

Mr. T
Jesse Ventura
Bill Brasky
Wolfman Jack before he was killed by that trident.

[Dreadstar]

Well, OK, there are a few guys in showbiz to start with.

John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and Lee Marvin, of course.

The Johnny Cash is a good choice.

Sam Elliot.

[K'Nort]

Leaving out those already named,

Humphrey Bogart
Steve McQueen
Omar Sharif
Gary Cooper

[HomerJay]

I'll collect my thoughts throughout the day and post a whopper of a list tonite...

[StoneGold]

Audie Murphy. Anyone with 240 confirmed kills almost has to make the list.

[UncleBob]

Audie Murphy. Anyone with 240 confirmed kills almost has to make the list.

Eddie Murphy has at least 240 confirmed hits of cocaine.

Also, 34 hits from trannies.

[Archyduke]

Clint Eastwood
Wilt Chamberlain
Jack London
Burt Reynolds... because you know that moustache doesn't lie...

[ocelotrevs]

Mr T
Shaka Zulu
Stalin
Pontius Pilate
Blackbeard the Pirate
John F Kennedy
Carl Weathers
Sonny Liston

[StoneGold]

Clint Eastwood
...
I think Eastwood disqualified himself somewhere between Play Misty for Me and The Bridges of Madison County.

[Archyduke]

Yeah, but only to a general sort of manliness, not to the manliest of manly.

Good call.


Celebrity wise

Duke Wayne
Steve McQueen
Robert Mitchum
Lee Marvin

Greg "Pappy" Boyington - guy was not only an ace, but was a badass street fighter and drinker.

Suicide. Not manly.

[Dreadstar]

That depends on how you do it. Jumping on a grenade to save the lives of other men? That's manly.

[Michael P]

That's not really suicide in my book.

[K'Nort]

Stacy Keach?

[Karl J. Barnes]

Teddy Roosevelt

Sgt. York

[UncleBob]

Teddy Roosevelt

Sgt. York

Dick Sergeant and Dick York. Both manly.

[K'Nort]

Bobby Baun!

Dick Sergeant and Dick York. Both manly.
Jokes aside, I don't think you can have ever been on Bewitched and be considered manly.

[Karl J. Barnes]

Jokes aside, I don't think you can have ever been on Bewitched and be considered manly.

Damn! Which leaves out Paul Lynde, I guess.

[Slam_Bradley]

Stacy Keach?


Close. His Mike Hammer was great. And he was in The Long Riders. But he's not really first tier, in my opinion.

What does everyone think about the Carradine Brothers? Well David and Keith, Robert is a loss.

[Slam_Bradley]

Teddy Roosevelt

Sgt. York


Teddy's a good choice.


I thought about Alvin York...but there's that whole conscientious objector thing. I'm torn.

[UncleBob]

Damn! Which leaves out Paul Lynde, I guess.

Dude, Paul Lynde snapped German necks at Normandy with his incredible strength!

[Karl J. Barnes]

Close. His Mike Hammer was great. And he was in The Long Riders. But he's not really first tier, in my opinion.

What does everyone think about the Carradine Brothers? Well David and Keith, Robert is a loss.

I would go with David just for his Kung Fu, Deathrace 2000 and his roll as Bill in Kill Bill.

[StoneGold]

What does everyone think about the Carradine Brothers? Well David and Keith, Robert is a loss.
Definite no on David. He might be cool, but cool /= manly. I want to say no on Keith also, just because he was playing in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway when I was in New York, and musical theater is the opposite inverse of manly.





I sold him a camera when I was 15, though.

[Dom]

Rock Hudson

Yul Brynner

Gregory Peck

Charles Bronson

Lee Van Cleef

[StoneGold]

Teddy's a good choice.


I thought about Alvin York...but there's that whole conscientious objector thing. I'm torn.
Nah. Pacifists kicking ass is still manly. Perhaps even moreso. Man of peace, man of war kind of thing.


That said, there's something about this picture that's just a little too FABULOUS!!!

Rock Hudson

Surely you jest.

Yul Brynner

Hmmmm....The Magnificent Seven and Westworld vs. The King and I. I'm not sure

Gregory Peck

I probably wouldn't have come up with him...not my first thought of manly men. But hard to argue against Atticus Finch.

Charles Bronson

Good call.

Lee Van Cleef

I'm not sure he's first tier material. But still a good call.

[K'Nort]

Sir Richard Francis Burton.

[Slam_Bradley]

Jim Thorpe

Jackie Robinson...the man put up with soooo much.

Jim Brown.

[Slam_Bradley]

Sir Richard Francis Burton.


Hell Yeah!

[StoneGold]

Zakk Wylde.

[Puma]

Bogart
Bacall- c'mon, she still has cojones
Robert Mitchum
Michael Caine circa the Harry Carter era
Charles Bronson
Lee Marvin
Steve McQueen

[K'Nort]

Hmmmm....The Magnificent Seven and Westworld vs. The King and I. I'm not sure.

Did you see The King and I? The testosterone was rolling off of him in visible waves.

[Dreadstar]

Ving Rhaymes.

[K'Nort]

Clive Owen.

Terrance Stamp.

William Holden.

[Valmore]

Bobby Orr

Dude played ice hockey on bad knees for years and still kicked ass.

[StoneGold]

Did you see The King and I? The testosterone was rolling off of him in visible waves.
http://www.wallsoffame.com/assets/images/brynner__yul_.jpg
That's dripping in something, although I'm not sure if it's testosterone.

[Dom]

I stand by Rock Hudson. Not only did he have a killer name, but you think it was easy living with the secret he had at the time he was alive?

If that's not manly, I don't know what is.

[UncleBob]

Richard Roundtree.

I'm talkin' bout Shaft.

[StoneGold]

Richard Roundtree.

I'm talkin' bout Shaft.
He had breast cancer.

Oh good lord. I remember when that happened to him, but I figured you had to be kidding about the pickaxe.

[StoneGold]

Speaking of manly amputees, Rulon Gardner. Beat Karelin in wrestling in the Olympics, and lost a toe to frostbite while lost in the mountains. And came back to wrestling, sans toe.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/your_turn/news/2000/10/09/chatreel_gardner/lg_rulon_ap.jpg

Kurt Angle is pretty manly too. He won a gold medal in wrestling with a broken neck. You couldn't win a gold medal in wrestling if you had four extra healthy necks.

[StoneGold]

Oh good lord. I remember when that happened to him, but I figured you had to be kidding about the pickaxe.
Heh, the one time I'm not kidding. The guy's like Ash, if Ash climbed mountains instead of fighting the Evil Dead.

[west3man]

Oh good lord. I remember when that happened to him, but I figured you had to be kidding about the pickaxe.
I definitely thought he was kidding.

[StoneGold]

I definitely thought he was kidding.
Funny thing is, I couldn't remember the dude's name. I just typed "cut off hand" into a search engine, Ralston was fortunately the first thing to pop up.

Andre the Giant. Serious, you hear stories about his manliness, it's less like a human, more like a Greek god.

[warspite1805]

Jesus Christ

[MacQuarrie]

Dick Sergeant and Dick York. Both manly.
Dick York, yes. The way he soldiered on through unspeakable back pain was pretty impressive. (I took acting classes under him; he was a hell of a guy.)

Dick Sargent, well, is it manly to be married to Dobie Gillis? (He and Dwayne Hickman were a couple for decades.)

[Tages]

Aron Ralston, Captain Sigurdur "Iceman" Petursson, and John Hirsch (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=real_men)

Cut off his own arm, killed a shark, and killed a bear, respectively.

[StoneGold]

Jesus Christ
Only if you accept Gnostic teachings. I don't think you can be manly and still be a virgin. Kind of goes against the grain.

[MacQuarrie]

Only if you accept Gnostic teachings. I don't think you can be manly and still be a virgin. Kind of goes against the grain.
You can if you willingly choose virginity in order to stay focused on your mission. There's nothing more manly than sacrifice and self-denial.

[warspite1805]

The bloke allowed him to be crucified for ours sins when he could of commanded a host of Arch Angels to smite the arses of those who were trying to murderise him.

[StoneGold]

You can if you willingly choose virginity in order to stay focused on your mission. There's nothing more manly than sacrifice and self-denial.
It depends a lot on what that self-denial is. I can not eat chocolate, that's not very manly. Not getting laid because it's getting in the way of me beating this shit out of some guy? That's manly. Not getting laid because my daddy told me I'd get in trouble if I did? That's not manly.

[west3man]

I think we're in for quite a display of manliness. Or not.

[Trystenn]

John Mother F*cking Wayne
Sean Connery
Danny Trejo
Edward James Olmos.

[StoneGold]

John Mother F*cking Wayne
Sean Connery
Danny Trejo
Edward James Olmos.
Yeah, Trejo is one bad ass mofo. Dude spent like half his life in prison, became a prison boxing champ, before becoming an actor.

[Trystenn]

Yeah, Trejo is one bad ass mofo. Dude spent like half his life in prison, became a prison boxing champ, before becoming an actor.
Serious and he makes dieing bad@$$, in virtually every movie he is in he dies.

Not to mention in most of his cameos he is some random prison dude.

[StoneGold]

Legend has it he was born in a prison. I think that ended up being BS though.

[Dreadstar]

Frank Dux.

[Dizzy D]

Sean Connery

Once upon a time perhaps, but not after the Avengers.

[Trystenn]

Eh it might be, its one of those things where i wouldnt be surprised either way.

[Trystenn]

He made up for that with The Rock, dude he was British and he still managed to be bad@$$.

[Royal]

Speaking of manly amputees, Rulon Gardner. Beat Karelin in wrestling in the Olympics, and lost a toe to frostbite while lost in the mountains. And came back to wrestling, sans toe.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/your_turn/news/2000/10/09/chatreel_gardner/lg_rulon_ap.jpg



His win over Karelin wasn't manly. GR Wrestling established the new "no relock" rule & it confussed many of the wrestlers who would normally re lock their hands to keep from slipping. It caught Karelin off guard & Rulon got the penulty point. Ruelon then sandbagged the rest of the match.

He did redeem himself however by stepping in the MMA ring & totally stopped the offensive grappling of Olympic judoka, Hidehiko Yoshida, earning the decsion victory.

[Royal]

He fought two days with Masahiko Kimura, gets his elbow broke in an armbar & continues fighting until his brother, Carlos, throws in the towel. A couple days later, Kimura & Helio become best friends.

Actually, Errol Flynn... let's just say there are rumors that would lead to the contrary.


And Milty... granted, he had the largest cock in showbusiness, but I don't know if being a human tripod alone is a qualifier for damn sheer manliness. Besides, the transvetism kind of took away from it.

[StoneGold]

Maybe I'm confused, but being gay disqualifies someone from being manly?
Oddly enough, no, but you have to be really butch, and at the same time, open about it. Because part of being manly is not giving a rat's ass what anyone else thinks. But if you're gay like anyone on Will and Grace, that doesn't work either. So realizing this is fictional, but Midnighter is a manly gay, Apollo is not.

Being a pedophile probably should.

Erroll Flynn was a pedophile?

Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic

Mirko has a history of bad assery.

-at 26, became the youngest in history to become chief of a counter-terror SWAT team.
-The first man in kickboxing to knockdown "Mystery" Mark Hunt.
-The first to go toe to toe with K-1 great, "Mr. Perfect" Ernesto Hoost in one round (had to bow out due to broken ribs inhibiting breathing)
-The first pure kickboxer to make full positive transition into MMA
- Holds a record in bone breakage of opponents. Most notable is his fights with Bob Sapp (cracked skull, broken orbital, broken masticle), Kazuyuki Fujita (broken skull) & Heath Herring (broken side of ribs, two broken orbitals)
-Voted into Croatian Parlament under the Socal Democrate (see Green) banner & becomes the first ever active mixed martial artist to hold office.

Has anyone mentioned Gene Kelly? I know he sang and danced, but you watch his movies and you really get the feeling he could whip your ass without breaking a sweat.

Hands off that's StoneGolds lady!

[Bouncing Boy]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Harrison Ford.

I'd also like to suggest Hugh Jackman

And I'd like to second the suggestion of Yul Brenner, I saw him in a touring company of King and I a couple of years before he died. Man he was fantastic.

[Bouncing Boy]

...and musical theater is the opposite inverse of manly.

(insert snarky sarcastic childish tone)
You're the opposite inverse of manly.

[K'Nort]

Calista Flockhart.

[SteelTownr]

Calista Flockhart.

Yeah, that does kinda suck, but he is like thirty years older than her, so he gets a break on it and he does pilot helicopters to rescue missing children and stuff.

He's in, in my book.

Mark B.

[Stony]

Sir Edmund Hillary.

Most well-known as one of the men who were the first to climb Mt Everest, the world's highest mountain, a pretty manly effort in itself...

But what you may not know is that he didn't just rest on his laurels.

Became close friends with the Nepalese people and decided to help them out by help building schools and hospitals for them. And by this, I don't mean just by going around getting funding, I mean transporting timber to the Himalayas and *building* these schools and hospitals with his bare hands.

Also the first man to drive a tractor across the South Pole... it's an antipodean thing.

And he's a carpenter. Hand tools are pretty darn manly.

I'd also like to suggest Hugh Jackman

He plays in musicals.

But you are forgiven.

[Bouncing Boy]

Exactly why I chose him. It takes a real man to sing and dance damnit!

Sure does.

But even more to the point, if you're in a movie with Meg Ryan, you're not manly.

That means that Tom Hanks is not manly, and I refuse to believe that.

[Dom]

What if he slept with her and never called her again?

[StoneGold]

I know I should just take that at face value as the joke that it is, but...

Nah, Crowe blew it by playing the violin in Master and Commander.

I was really expecting you to do that. Thanks.

So when do we get to see a picture of your genitals?

[StoneGold]

So when do we get to see a picture of your genitals?
When your mom finally gets around to showing you the picture of what your new daddy looks like.

[Devon C.]

So when do we get to see a picture of your genitals?
Hopefully, when a headline reads:

"Ralph Nader elected president. In other news, flying pigs soar over new winter vacation spot known as hell."

[K'Nort]

Yeah, that does kinda suck, but he is like thirty years older than her, so he gets a break on it

There was some classic manly Hollywood man, forget whom, who made an interesting point about trophy wives and otherwise ending up with the hot young things. Something about it taking a real man to stay with the one who can see through your bullshit.

[Dom]

When your mom finally gets around to showing you the picture of what your new daddy looks like.

My new daddy is your crotch?

[elheffe]

Unless I missed it somewhere, I don't remember seeing Samuel L. Jackson's name anywhere.
You don't get any manly than being a Jedi Knight and having a wallet that says "Bad Motherfucker"

and the manliest of all men Daniel M'Mburugu (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8317484/?GT1=6657)
HE IS: A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday.

Forgot about Bas Rutten.

He was a clothes model before becoming the "Einstein of MMA". His Big Books of Combat are invaluable & is easy to learn by anyone.

Take a left at the old oak tree, head south for about twelve hours, ask around for me.

I'm usually hammering nails.

With my bare hands.

[StoneGold]

I don't know if this counts as manly, but this guy definitely has the most balls.
